A SANDMAN WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! FESTIVE FRIENDS BUNDLE ~

I couldn’t resist. I recently got the Festive Friends Bundle. They are cute characters in this one BUT for our Hot Christmas time in Australia with many heading to the beach I couldn’t help but make the snowman a Sandman.

I remember so many times at the beach when I was young creating big mounds of sand and decorating it with seaweed for hair and added sticks and shells. And at Christmas time you did add a Santa Hat. Such fun memories.

So the Festive Friends snowman became a Sandman. Not too many shells or seaweed on this one but still all dressed up for Christmas.

The Sandman was coloured with the Stampin’ Blends and the shells were from the Notes and Totes Dies set. The paper worked well with it. This was from the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper pack.

I had a lot of fun colouring this character. I have created with the other characters too so I will get back to you soon on those ones.

This is the Festive Friends Bundle. It has some fun little additional elements too with the trees and snowflakes and a tag shape. See it more -> HERE.

STAMPIN’ UP! TWO-TONE SUNFLOWERS ~

I have been playing a lot with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder and experimenting with the Two-Tone cardstock. So I put them together.

Here are 2 cards that I created. Some nice sunshine-y yellow to brighten your day.

For this one below I cut a piece of the Daffodil Delight Two-Tone Cardstock just slightly smaller than the front of the card. Then I cut the piece in half and flipped one half. I put the pieces together in the Embossing Folder and embossed them. I lightly sanded the embossed cardstock to reveal the white. I adhered them to the front of a white Card Base and added a simple sentiment.

We made this card recently in my local class playing with the Two-Tone Cardstock. If you are a Wollongong local I would love you to join in our classes each month. Contact me to find out more about them.

On this one below I cut a piece of the Two-Tone Daffodil Delight and embossed that. I lightly sanded the piece and added it to a white card Base. The sentiment heat embossed in white on black card and the Granny Apple Green leaf gives a ‘POP’ to the card.

You could do this in many other colours too. Hope you get to try it out.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

JUST A CIRCLE WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! EMBOSSING FOLDER ~

The details in the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder is amazing! I have had a lot of fun with this folder lately. And I can’t wait to show you more with what I have created with it. But today I am sharing this one with you.

When you don’t feel like colouring the whole embossed piece you can diecut a circle or other shape and colour that small area. And don’t forget to colour with the blue around the flowers. It helps them POP more.

I embossed a piece of white card with the Sunflower Embossing Folder then I diecut a circle in another piece of white card. Then embossed the card. It is better to diecut the shape first. If you do that after you have embossed the card it can flatten the detail.

I used the Daubers and inks to colour this one. And used the Balmy Blue Light Stampin’ Blend for the surrounds.

I heat embossed the sentiment on black card. This helps it POP more too. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Stamp Set.

Have you tried the Sunflower Embossing Folder? It is a large one but there are lots of different Sunflower shapes over it and you can pick the area you like depending on your project.

The Embossing Folder measures 6″ x 8-1/2″ (15.2 x 21.6 cm). I said it was a large one!

You can see it more -> HERE.

Hope you get to create with it. I will bring you more with it soon.

We will be creating with this folder in class this week. If you are a Wollongong local I would love you to join in my classes. They are lots of fun and I can share lots of tips and and techniques that are sometimes a little tricky to share through a blog post.

PUZZLE SLIDER FUN FOLD CARD + VIDEO!

Have you seen the Puzzle Slider Fun Fold Cards? I saw them recently and just had to create one myself. The one I saw was created by Sue Stampfield.

I couldn’t find one in Metric measurements so I worked in inches. I adjusted those measurements and then worked out the Metric for my lovely crafters who prefer centimetres.

I put together a video for you. I used the Florals in Blooms Paper but you can use whatever you have. It’s a cool card. Even if you don’t like to do puzzles I think you will like to create one of these.

Here is the Video for you. The card is shown further below.

This is the card I had created earlier.

Don’t forget the inside.

Follow along with the video.

The Written Tutorial will be sent out for my Newsletter Subscribers next week. Are you a subscriber? I send out a project Tutorial each week. You can head to the Side Bar on my blog and click on the tab.

Happy Creating a Puzzle Slider Card,

Jenny
